pickles 37_10 Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 I have more energy than I have had for the past 10 years. I can go 5 to 6 hours between meals if needed without a bit of hanger. This is such a miracle. Stick with it guys. Soooooo worth it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tracita Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 Congratulations, I'm happy for you! Was this your first Whole30? I'm curious- did you eat LaraBars? Domyou recall how you felt on day 6? Thanks, and again- good job! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pickles 37_10 Posted February 2, 2014 Author Share Posted February 2, 2014 Yup-my first one. But not the last! My first week and a half was definitely up and down-initially the worst problem that I had was nausea and cravings. I had one really bad KATT day-around day 9 or 10, though I think. This past week is when it got really good and stayed good, if that makes sense. I have eaten a few Lara Bars here and there, but have tried to really save them for "emergencies" because they have definite "food without brakes" potential for me. The coconut cream ones-OMG so good. Last night I had to work a 13 hour shift starting right after dinner, and I brought a Lara Bar but also 2 hard boiled eggs. This job has a lot of food temptations and it's helpful to have something there as an alternative. I've also learned to stay away from snacking on fruit as it seems to be counterproductive-it just spikes the blood sugar and an hour later, I am hungrier than I was before I ate it. Bottom line, there's a few layers to the learning curve of this-stick with it! It's worth it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tracita Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 Wow Pickles, I think you just helped me a ton (regarding Larabars and fruit. Lions and tigers and bears, oh MY!). And last question-- what does KATT stand for? Congrats again and thank you for responding! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

misskrissy27 Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 You've given me hope that I'll feel that good at Day 21! Day 16 here and it is getting better, but I'm still very tired, more than usual. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
